AnswerI think a prawn is a shrimp. Therefore, prawn eggs are shrimp eggs, and I do not think shrimp eggs are good to eat!

I confirm that prawn is used in Britain when shrimp would be used in the US (or most other places). But prawn/shrimp roe is in fact not only edible, but is considered to be a delicacy, as mentioned in the recipe to which I am providing a web link. I can personally confirm that it is quite tasty, though a little fiddly/messy.

Another "yes" vote. I just bought some fresh Alaskan prawns (in Seattle) and since I wanted the bigger ones, which are female, all were packed with eggs. Before grilling them, I nibbled the eggs off, and they were delicious. The flavor was not strong. I'm not sure they would be very good if cooked.
